The Packers got the win they needed to stay in the playoff hunt on Sunday, but they still don't know if they'll have they'll have Aaron Rodgers back in the lineup. Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Rodgers still hasn't been medically cleared to return from the broken left collarbone that has kept him out...

I assume Cobb will be tested tomorrow still since that is what coach said last week. Lacy has sprained ankle and has no status for Dallas at this time. That is the biggest thing for us to watch this week now. They don't test on game day so we'll need to know something by the end of week.

Is there a reason why its going to be Wednesday? Why not give him a couple more days and do it Friday?

I can't imagine Aaron being out another game. He has had such a long time out and this season... is so much more than alive. Let's hope the doctors see promise.

One thing puzzles me.

Aaron Rodgers was scanned on Tuesday and was disappointed in the results. So why did he practice Wednesday and Friday knowing there was no chance he'd be medically cleared because he wasn't going to be scanned again until Today?

I think we are being lied to again.

There could be a lot of things involved in that decision. Maybe the coaching staff felt Flynn could handle things and buy Aaron more time to recover. Maybe we are being lied to.Maybe they don't think we have a shot at the division so they aren't risking his health. A lot of "what if" scenarios linger.

Hard to say what is really going on - all we can do is wait and see.

Alshon Jeffery is quickly becoming an elite receiver. Once Cobb and Rodgers are back, I don't think it would really matter much. But Chicago's main offensive weapons are nothing to laugh about, at all. Having two elite WRs and an elite RB is tough to stop.

And for the 2013 season, I don't see how there can any any debate. McCown >>> Flynn.

There is a lot open here in terms of Rodgers getting back onto the field. As much as I would love to see him come back, and help us make a run, if he is not ready, no sweat.

We've learned a great deal about our team by his absence. I guess we can take comfort in the fact that we have players who are growing through this process. If Rodgers can't make the DAL game, and we somehow win that one, we still have some hope for this season. 3 games, all need to be won by GB.

If we somehow can't swing it, if Rodgers can't make it back this year, I'm resigned to the fact that we have realized our problem areas with giant red flags, and maybe we can return next season far more ready to contend for the Lombardi Trophy.

Listening to the radio on my way over here (to the library) and they were talking how AR didn't sound as positive that he'd be cleared to play this week as he had been in the last couple of weeks.
I can't see us beating the Cowboys at Dallas without him. Even with him it would be hard.

I think if he can't play, and the Packers lose this weekend, AR will be shelved for the season.
Just my opinion of course.

We can still do this. It's up to the D.
